Since 2001, the Frist Art Museum has brought internationally acclaimed exhibitions to our community, exposing many to contemporary art for the first time. The appetite for the art of our time has grown and continues to impact the local art scene. With this acute appreciation in mind, the Friends of Contemporary Art (FoCA) was started in 2015 to support the Frist’s organization and presentation of contemporary exhibitions. Consider joining FoCA today with a $1,000 donation add-on to your existing membership.
FoCA members have exclusive opportunities to:
- meet contemporary artists and visit their studios
- mingle with Frist Art Museum curators at special gatherings
- receive VIP access to Frist Art Museum contemporary art events
- attend social mixers with other contemporary art enthusiasts
